It’s already time to be looking for our new Miss France! Like every year, the committees embark on several stages throughout the country before arriving at the national election in December and soon, it is the Miss Paris who will have to be designated. After a first sorting among 158 candidates, they are now only twelve to hope to win this title. They will be decided on June 19 at the Lido. And the future ambassador of the capital could well go down in history if it comes toAndrea Furet. And for good reason, she is the first transgender candidate to try her luck in the competition.
Andréa Furet is 19 years old and started her transition not so long ago, just after high school. “I passed my baccalaureate as a free candidate to advance on my transitionhad entrusted the young woman at TF1. Of course, I came out publicly trans. I think there were surprises, because I had never talked about it before. But at the same time a little indifference too. As long as I was happy, nobody bothered“.
The young woman has since already made a lot of talk about her through her career as an actress in which she embarked. She was seen in the poignant TF1 TV movie He is sheor her played the role of Julien, a teenager who wanted to change gender. Andréa Furet also joined the cast of season 2 of Rousseau’s faultan episode of which was dedicated to her was broadcast on Wednesday evening on France 2. If she wins the title of Miss Paris, Andréa Furet will have an appointment in several months for the Miss Île-de-France election, the last stage before the Miss France ceremony.
Her participation in the competition represents a big step for the competition which seeks to modernize and evolve on all points since the arrival of Alexia Laroche-Joubert as director of the Miss France company. We can see that the criteria for competing are much less strict than a year ago. “The Miss France committee has changed the rules. It is no longer necessary to be unmarried. And there is no more age limit“, indicated Béatrice Attard, the president of the Miss Paris committee, for The Parisian.
